Astrology on a sophisticated Level

by Liz Greene

Once
upon a time, in a less scientific age than ours, astrology was a respected
study, based on ancient and empirically compiled principles and used by the
learned for greater insight not only into the future, but into the soul. With
the coming of the Age of Enlightenment, and the increase in man's knowledge
of the material universe, it seemed for a time that studies such as astrology,
in company with other symbolic maps of the cosmos, had become anachronisms
- pieces of superstitious nonsense which reflected a more ignorant and gullible
era.

But surprisingly, astrology, despite its detractors, has refused to
go the way of the flat earth, the conjuring of demons, and the turning
of lead
into gold. It is alive and well, growing in popularity, and once again meriting
the respect of intelligent minds - for it has been brought into the modern
era through our increasing knowledge of psychology and of the inner nature
of man. Subjected to many centuries of suppression and ridicule, astrology
has outproven and outlasted its opponents, and eloquently demonstrates that
it has something of great value to offer the modern individual seeking self-
understanding.

In the AstroIntelligence Readings we have endeavoured, using the insights
of astrology and psychology combined with the tools of advanced computer technology,
to
offer you an astrological portrait which is uniquely and individually focussed
and which aims at providing greater self-knowledge. This is not fortune-telling
astrology, but rather, psychological astrology, developed to as deep and sophisticated
a level as is possible within the perimeters of computer interpretation. No
computer can perform the task of an experienced human astrologer. But we think
you will find this analysis a surprisingly profound and subtle interpretation
of the complex dynamics at work within you.

Shakespeare
once wrote that all the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely
players. In a sense, your birth horoscope is a metaphor for the individual
play, complete with stage set, cast of characters, and story, which lies at
the core of your life journey. It might be useful for you to remember the metaphor
of the theatre as you read through the various sections of your astrological
portrait, because it can help you to understand the real meaning of fate as
it is reflected by astrology. Fate does not lie in your being subjected to
random preordained events. It lies in the cast of characters which represent
the deepest needs, conflicts and aspirations which lie within you. No person
can be other than himself or herself; and every life experience, whether tiny
and transient or major and transformative, reflects in some way the character
of the individual.
